Chapter Seven

The next morning, Emily came down early, stepping onto the marble terrace where breakfast was laid. The only one seated was Jan, dressed in a filmy-looking sundress. Emily felt her steps falter somewhat at the sight of Jan. It was too late, however, to turn in another direction. Jan looked up and noticed Emily, waving her forward.

“Why don’t you join me?”

Emily berated herself for sleeping in when she could have been out with Chace who’d gone on his exercise run.

There is nothing to worry about, Emily decided firmly. It was not like Jan was liable to bite or anything. Sure, for such a beautiful woman, Jan seemed much too down to earth. Women who looked like her were sure to be mostly stuck up with how they looked better and hotter than anyone else. Not Jan, with her girl-next-door personality that was in contrast to her movie star beauty.

Emily wasn’t about to think the worst of someone for no just reason, so she smiled cordially and settled in, pouring herself some coffee.

The topic of the wedding came up first, which Jan brought up and offered to help if Emily needed anything. Surprised, Emily gave a genuine smile and thanked Jan, saying of course she’d let her know. Then talk shifted to careers and Jan mentioned Emily’s book.

It looks like she does know a lot about me, mused Emily. She’d have to even the score and push Chace for more info about Jan. Was she in a relationship, and what was her story? Last night, there’d been no time to really iron things out. In fact, thoughts of Jan had taken the back burner, but now Emily’s curiosity was definitely at a high pitch.

Deciding on a more direct approach, Emily did her own prodding. “With you single-handedly in charge of the New York operations, it must be tough,” Emily began.

“I won’t deny it’s a definite challenge, but then Chace has always been supportive with constant visits. And now that he plans to move back here, there will…”

“Uh, what? Chace is moving back to New York?” Emily cut in blankly.

Jan paused with a surprised look. “He didn’t tell you? Oh.” Jan rested her fingertips against her lips in remorse. “I’m sorry. I just assumed that you knew.”

Emily regained her composure quickly. “There’s no need to apologize. It’s fine, really. But why would he need to…you know what, I’ll just ask Chace myself, later.” I’m sure there’s some mistake, Emily thought as her mind darted here and there.

“I think that would be best,” said Jan in that same apologetic tone. Then she smiled brightly. “I will say, though, that it’s a very positive outcome, don’t you think? Most of Chace’s family are based here and the friends he grew up with, too. Since you’re both getting married, of course, you wouldn’t mind the move. I hear you’re a native yourself.”

“Yeah,” Emily said, her thoughts already elsewhere. How could Chace do this to her? Leave her in the dark about something so important
